NEW DELHI

The United Service Institution (USI) of India, the country’s oldest think tank, will be organising the first Indian Military Heritage Festival, at the Manekshaw Centre in New Delhi, on 21-22 October 2023. 


With 2022-2023 being the year of India›s leadership of the G-20, the USI is proud to be working in tandem with the Government of India›s strategic policies to affirm “our position as a global powerhouse, a truly vibrant democracy, and a rising power that is working for the development of all countries in the global south”.


Despite a long and glorious military history and strategic culture going back many centuries, the general public is largely unaware of the different facets of India’s military history, heritage, and security concerns.


The Indian Military Heritage Festival seeks to address this gap in our national discourse and cultural calendar. Its activities will be driven towards enhancing our understanding of the country’s rich military heritage and traditions; contemporary security and strategy concerns; and the push to achieve self-reliance in military capability through the Atmanirbhar Bharat programmes of the Government of India.  


Through informed sessions, ranging from discussions on Indigenous Historical Knowledge systems, India and the World Wars, Post-Independence challenges and understandings of war and conflict, analysing war through the lens of fiction and media, the Indian Military Heritage Festival will definitely be the one of its kind, catering to audiences from all walks of life. 


The festival intends to engage global as well as Indian think tanks, institutions, corporations, public and private sector undertakings, non-profit organisations, academicians, and research scholars who have been working on topics related to India’s national security, foreign policy, military history, as well as experts in the field of military heritage. Over the course of two days, the festival will primarily bring forward different understandings and perspectives on
issues involving our Armed Forces.
